oh yay youre finally posting again!! i have a few more ive found. all done by k9 1. by garden.mouse on instagram and clover-mouse on tumblr. k9 technically 'credited' but it was in his personal channel, unpinned and not pinged AFTER a user had said something about it. was not posted in a main channel (like new-emojis or announcements) where people will actually check! 2. i was unable to find the original poster as this is a heavily reposted image. i tried searching but i believe the original poster may have deleted the post or their account. i believe k9 mentioned copying this but i couldnt find it anywhere in the server 3. once again, couldnt find original artist was this was a heavily reposted image. no credit was ever given for this that i am aware of 4. i BELIEVE the original artist may be alexb2fr on deviant art, but i am not certain, as the account looks mildly suspicious. it was the earliest posting i found of the image while searching. once again, no credit found anywhere. body is almost identical, but the wings differ. you can tell it is heavily inspired though. 5. no credit needed since its an irl image! definitely traced/heavily inspired though, especially since the other drawings of this batch were all varying styles and this one was very realistic compared to the others. i apologize for no provided overlay images this time!! didnt have the time to do so
also i just wanted to take a moment to say thank you for doing this! i believe that the emoji community, especially larger creators should be held more accountable about tracing, copying, and taking inspiration off of other creators, especially when they preach about not wanting the same done to them. i dont think any of these creators should be harassed, but the emoji community has a serious hypocrisy and stealing problem, and it shouldnt be encouraged further than it already has. you are doing a good job by creating this account and i hope you arent being harassed!
SUBMISSION:
• Note: Thank you for your submission, charminglydeceased! If you wish for this to be posted leaving you anonymous, please do tell and I can repost it! I check this account from time to time as I believe it is important for artists to receive proper credit. Everyone should be held accountable for their wrongdoings. You should never trace or heavily copy another artists work for free public use without proper credentials or permission whatsoever. You cannot be a large creator and expect everyone to actively seek for the credentials you failed to provide… the community is undoubtedly filled with hypocrisy. The goal of this account is to spread awareness and proper credits creators have neglected in their posts. And thank you, fortunately enough, I have received no hate and harassment!
